Why people havent talked about Reagan´s.

passing here on the board? I find it very strange. As I have read and watched on the news he was a great person, great communicator and many people is paying the respects, he was loved by many northamerican people, many people will miss him. He was a man with good principles, centered, etc.

You wouldn't be making an assumption, now would you? I know Raegan was elected for two terms (once in 1981, then later in 1985). He was a Republican (which in and of itself proves he wasn't too bright). In the early 80s, he attacked the SALT treaty with Russia and advocated that the Soviet Union be dealt with in a more militant fashion (gotta love those war mongers). He also opposed abortion and the equal rights amendment (how tolerant). The Libertarians, the Democrats AND the Independents disagreed with him. He invaded Grenada in 1982 in an attempt to overthrow an extremist government (hmmm, sounds similar to the poor decisions made by a more recent president). He also, like Bush, tried to fight terrorism by launching an AIR STRIKE against Libya after it bombed a German night club, killing ONE U.S. Soldier (that doesn't even come *close* to qualifing as an "eye for an eye," nor would it be acceptable, IMO, if it did). He worstened an already fragile economy (the unemployment rate reached it's highest since the Great Depression during *his* presidency), and his "trickle down" theory failed. But hey, he cut taxes and bombed people - what every conservative wants in a president. He was a facist. Period.
Wouldn't be making assumptions would you?
You certainly sound tolerant to me.
Classic indoctrination.
To quote Reagan and ammend it a little:
Reagan - "How do you tell a Communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin. "
Me - "How do you tell a liberal? Well, it's someone who talks about equality, freedom, freedom of choice. And how do you tell a conservative? It's someone who understands equality, freedom and freedom of choice."
Good luck with your education.
